“Tyson Kozak's Last Shot: Sabres Forward Vows to Prove Himself or Face AHL Future”
🔥 BUFFALO'S RISING STAR READY FOR A MAKE-OR-BREAK SEASON 🔥
Tyson Kozak knows the pressure is on as he heads into the 2025-26 NHL season. At 22 years old, the Buffalo Sabres forward faces the most critical year of his career—prove he belongs at the NHL level or risk spending his future in the AHL. And he’s not backing down.
"I KNOW I’M NOT THE BIGGEST, BUT I’M HERE TO PROVE THAT SIZE DOESN’T MATTER. IF I’M GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY, I’LL SHOW WHAT I CAN DO AND EARN MY PLACE ON THIS TEAM. IT’S NOW OR NEVER."
These are the words of a player fully aware that his time to shine is now. Kozak, who was a seventh-round pick in 2021, defied the odds by earning a spot on the NHL roster last season. In his 21-game debut, he posted three goals and five points, with just over 10 minutes of ice time per game. While those numbers were a promising start, Kozak knows he has a long road ahead if he wants to stay in the big league.
The Sabres have a wealth of young talent and experienced fourth-line players, and competition for a spot is fierce. Kozak spent most of the past two seasons in Rochester with Buffalo’s AHL affiliate, where he averaged 42 games, six goals, and 12 points per season. He’s made the leap to the NHL, but the real challenge is proving that he can consistently deliver at the top level.
His modest contract and pay cut make him an easier player to keep around, but it’s not guaranteed that Kozak will hold onto his spot. He could find himself as a healthy scratch or sent back to the AHL if injuries, trades, or underperforming players open up a spot. Kozak is well aware of the situation and is determined to make the most of any opportunity that comes his way.
"I KNOW I’M NOT THE BIGGEST, BUT I’M HERE TO PROVE THAT SIZE DOESN’T MATTER," Kozak said, echoing the mentality that has driven him so far. "IT’S NOW OR NEVER."
For the Sabres, the question is whether Kozak can step up and seize the chance to establish himself as a full-time NHLer, or if he’ll continue to be a fringe player bouncing between the press box and the AHL. With the team’s depth in the forward ranks, there’s little room for error.
The clock is ticking, and Kozak knows that if he doesn’t step up now, he might be left behind. But with the drive to prove himself, this could be the breakout season that Buffalo fans have been waiting for.

Seahawks 21, Saints 10: The Saints may be bad, but they are fighters. This is not a team that roles over. Additionally, this is also a team that's had the Seahawks' number for over a decade now... literally. Seattle's last win over New Orleans was during the 2013 Divisional Round. Seattle's defense is a little banged up, but should be capable of holding the Saints in check. I'm expecting a closer game than most until the Seahawks pull away late.
